This past weekend, on a hot night in Georgia, two titans of pop culture collided. One is at its height today. One is part of a group who took over the world more than 20 years ago. But on Saturday night, they were on the same historic ballfield at Grayson

Josh Jung has just struck out. The Rangers rookie walks dejectedly back from the home-plate area. His head is down, maybe he's muttering some unchoice words under his breath. Maybe he's silent. He shoves his bat back into the rack and his helmet into its cubby. The third baseman gazes

NEW YORK -- Behind the scenes, there is one person responsible for making sure you hear broadcast legend Howie Rose loud and clear. His name is Chris Majkowski, and he is now in his 31st season as the producer/engineer for the Mets’ flagship radio station on WCBS 880 AM. Majkowski

Baseball legend Ken Griffey Jr. has picked up sports photography in his post-playing days. The Hall of Famer was spotted on the sideline at Wednesday's Inter Miami CF vs. Nashville SC soccer match with a camera and his vintage backwards cap.

DENVER -- "I'm sorry. Get well soon." Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland penned those poignant words after committing an act of light aggression on July 14, 2022. Freeland, one of the fieriest competitors in the Majors, had just given up five runs over four innings against the Padres despite being staked

NEW YORK -- How’s that for a birthday present? Rangers top prospect Evan Carter -- who turned 21 on Tuesday -- was promoted to Triple-A Round Rock on his birthday. Carter got the start in center field in the Express’ game against the Oklahoma City Dodgers. MLB Pipeline’s No. 8

Picture this: It's 3 a.m. and the world is asleep, save for night owls, insomniacs and the trucks downshifting on the highway. Everything is quiet and still. Everything, that is, except for a small baseball field in Kansas City, where 60 men and women will be playing non-stop, night and

Louis Lappe hit more home runs than any player at the 2023 Little League Baseball World Series. His fifth and final dinger came on the final swing of the tournament Sunday and put California on top of the Little League world once again. The 6-foot-1 third baseman crushed a walk-off

MILWAUKEE -- It took one game for Padres second baseman Matthew Batten in his return to the Majors to pull off something rarely seen. In Sunday’s series finale against the Brewers, Batten crushed a solo homer in the second inning off Adrian Houser. But just as impressive as the 376

ST. PETERSBURG -- One by one, the Yankees filed off the Boeing 757 jet on Thursday evening, thanking their captain for a smooth flight. That exchange occurs countless times during a baseball season, but with Clarke Schmidt’s father behind the controls, this trip was a family affair. Dwight Schmidt, a

Back in 2012, in a small garage in central Pennsylvania, Victus Sports CEO Jared Smith didn't start out making Crayola or Santa Claus or Uncle Sam bats. His lumber did stand out color- and design-wise, but for the most part, at the outset of his lumber-making business, the 26-year-old and

We've all seen some pretty great fan catches at ballgames before. But what a fan did on the South Side of Chicago at Thursday night's contest between the A's and White Sox was impressive on a number of fronts. When Oakland slugger Brent Rooker smashed a deep drive to left-center

Few baseball hats have impacted hip-hop culture as much as the current White Sox cap that debuted in the 1990s. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of hip-hop -- it was 50 years ago that the cultural movement was born in The Bronx -- the Chicago White Sox have produced Fitted

On a night when the baseball world was shaken up by the news of an injury that will prevent Shohei Ohtani from pitching the rest of the season, the superstar still helped provide us a moment of levity, courtesy of Reds phenom Elly De La Cruz. Both men lived up

They didn’t call them “Stella and the Fellas” for nothing. But Little League phenom Stella Weaver wasn’t in Williamsport, Pa. just to show face. She showed up to make some history. In an elimination bracket semifinal game against California on Wednesday, Weaver -- a 12-year-old from Nolensville Little League --

“The Saint of Second Chances” is coming to Netflix on Sept. 19. The documentary, a tale of baseball, family and redemption, covers Mike Veeck’s unique journey -- from his relationship with his Hall of Fame father, Bill, to his time out of baseball after organizing the ill-fated Disco Demolition Night

You can add former MLB pitcher Dan Haren to the list of fans who admire Shohei Ohtani. Haren, a three-time All-Star and Angel from 2010-12 and current pitching strategist with the D-backs, bought Ohtani and Mike Trout jerseys in the hopes of getting them signed by the two Angels superstars.

HOUSTON -- Kevin Millar couldn’t believe his own call. The NESN color broadcaster and former Red Sox slugger predicted an Adam Duvall home run in the first inning of Boston’s 9-4 loss to Houston in Monday's series opener. And then he let out an incredulous “WHAT?” right as it happened.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- The kids at the Little League World Series may not be ready to go back to school quite yet, but Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott came prepared with some extra supplies -- sort of. Stott stepped into the box with a custom No. 2 pencil bat for

Along with having one of the prettiest ballparks in the country, Pittsburgh has revitalized itself over the last decade as a must-see travel destination. But once you're there -- where do you need to go? Which restaurants? What bar should you hit up after a Pirates game? Where can you

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- The hill that overlooks the field at Lamade Stadium is an iconic backdrop at the Little League World Series. It is where Little League players and, since the inception of the Little League Classic, Major Leaguers alike grab a cardboard box and share in seconds of exhilaration

Word travels fast in the close quarters of a big league clubhouse. It's not uncommon for players to sling recommendations and referrals across the room, from restaurants to vacation destinations … and even dog trainers. That's how Wesley Dawe, owner of Good DaweG, ended up with a growing contingent of

Aaron Judge followed in Derek Jeter's footsteps as the new Yankees captain last winter, and the two now have something else very significant in common: Judge is the newest baseball player to sign an endorsement contract with Nike's Jordan Brand, which announced the deal on social media on Friday. Jeter

THUNDER BAY, Ontario -- Genevieve Beacom has always been the outlier. Growing up playing mostly on men's teams, one memory crystalizes that best in the 6-foot-2 lefty's mind: Playing in an under-12s competition, she faced an opponent who simply did not want to get in the box. It wasn't because
